Douglas-fir Tussock Moth (Orgyia pseudotsugata)Observer
alva4Description
This was found on a blue spruce, and seems to he a cocoon of a tussock moth. The cocoon is very similar to images I found online of tussock moth cocoons. What was left of the Caterpillar (it was being eaten by some form of wasp) seemed to match the hairy, orange look of tussock catepillars

jpgoday28Description
Found in a ponderosa pine. Unsure about the species, but I hope it's not zimmermani. The pitch masses on the trunk could be where the caterpillar gestated.
